I use LapLink Ver. 5 with a parallel connection with 0 problems, get 
consistant 3 meg/min thruput, never get a hang.  Ver 4 had a few minor 
problems but also worked OK, but they were LL problems, not OS/2 problems.  I 
never used a serial connection, don't see why a serial connection wouldn't 
work.  Ver 2.01 of LL probably had lots of problems with any multitasking 
system.
